So you had a weekend off

I did some quilty stuff, quilted 2 doll quilts & finished a giterdun top - photos after I have finished my trip to Israel...

Back to Israel.Masada is where we went on Thursday before the wedding. (Oh yes, I like to cram a lot into my vacations... The cruise will be a bit hard for me because we plan to "take it easy.")We took the Sodom Arad Road. (That is the Dead Sea in the background.)They marked each 100 foot drop in elevation. This sign was quite odd - it includes French but is missing Arabic... We only did a drive by viewing of the Dead Sea, here it is again... The color was AWESOME... We took the cable car up to Masada. December would have been the ideal time to hike it, but we had a wedding to get back to. View from the cable car of the Dead Sea. Through this window the Ancient Israelites would have watched the Roman's build the ramp that was used to seige the fortress. (One of my favorite photos, btw. I really like to take photos of views through windows & doors.) One of the Roman encampments.
